The school was graded good by Ofsted in May 2022 and received an excellent SIAMS report in 2024. As a Church of England school, we are very proud of our warm and welcoming ethos, underpinned by our six Christian values. In 2022, our ethos was recognised with an accreditation from Nurture UK, and it was reaccredited in 2025. We strongly believe that to ensure every single child (and adult) can achieve their full potential, they should be celebrated as individuals and supported when facing difficulties in any area. We use the Boxall profile alongside academic assessments to gain a holistic picture of the strengths and challenges for every pupil at our school. Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, and we believe that, guided by our Christian values, strong relationships among staff, parents, governors, and the community, along with high expectations and the right support, enable everyone to flourish
